Baba Nyonya Heritage Museum

The 'Straits Chinese', also
called the Baba and Nyonya,
are Chinese of noble descent
who have adopted much of the
Malay culture into theirs.
This has been a gradual
process lasting over 400 years
since the great Chinese
explorer Admiral Cheng Ho
first brought Chinese settlers
to Melaka. Over the centuries,
the Baba Nyonya have developed
a distinct and highly
interesting culture that is
unique to Malaysia's west
coast, particularly
Melaka.

The public can now view the
historical artefacts unique to
this heritage at a captivating
private museum run by the
Babas and Nyonyas of Melaka.
Within the walls of this
heritage building, you can
learn everything there is to
know about this unique
culture.
